Hi everyone,
I have been lurking for a while but haven't really had anything to say (no expertise) and no questions yet (can't really post from the side of the highway).
I bought an '85 RS in November sight unseen and had it freighted from Reno to Houston. It's my first motorcycle, so I have been riding it like crazy. I did a 5,000 mile road trip from Houston to LA and back last month. So far everything has been perfect except a couple of hiccups with dirty grounds and also the fuel pump power supply wanting to wriggle out. I discovered it is not a good thing to lose power to the fuel pump at 70mph on a busy highway.
Today I woke up with the urge to get naked, so I took the fairing off and am shopping around for headlights, brackets, and signals. I was thinking I might want sportier handlebars, too, but I am going to get situated with the naked thing first.
Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm sure I'll have some questions when I start doing more maintenance.
Best,
Jack
